Product Description

The pneumatic double diaphragm pump (AODD) is a positive displacement pump that uses compressed air to alternately actuate two flexible diaphragms, creating a vacuum and pressure cycle that moves fluid through the pump. With no rotating parts, seals, or electrical components, it offers exceptional versatility and safety. The AODD pump can run dry indefinitely, self-prime from dry, and handle a wide range of fluids from thin chemicals to viscous slurries.

Applications

  • Chemical transfer
  • Mining slurry
  • Wastewater treatment
  • Paint & coatings
  • Pharmaceutical dosing
  • Tank unloading

Quality Assurance

All pumps are manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management system. Each pump undergoes rigorous testing including hydrostatic pressure test, performance test, NDT inspection, and dynamic balance verification before shipment. We provide comprehensive documentation including test reports, material certificates, and operation manuals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pump run dry?

Yes, AODD pumps can run dry indefinitely without damage, making them ideal for unloading and transfer applications where fluid supply may be intermittent.

What fluids can it handle?

AODD pumps can handle a wide range including corrosive chemicals, abrasive slurries, viscous fluids up to 50,000 cP, and shear-sensitive products.

Is it explosion-proof?

Yes, since it is air-operated with no electrical components, the AODD pump is inherently safe for explosive and hazardous area applications.

Selection Guide

✅ When to Choose This Pump

  • High viscosity fluids (above 500 cP)
  • Hygienic food and beverage products
  • Precision metering and dosing
  • Shear-sensitive products

⚠️ When NOT to Choose

  • Large volume low-viscosity transfer
  • Abrasive slurries with large particles
  • High-pressure water injection
  • Applications requiring variable flow at constant speed

💡 Common Selection Mistakes

  • Not installing pressure relief valve
  • Running at too high speed for viscosity
  • Ignoring shear sensitivity of product
  • Not considering pulsation dampening
